> All is revealed in the show

He may have done it like this for real (I haven't seen the show), but just be aware that part of Derren Brown's magic is that the "reveal" is still part of the act. Often he claims to have done things using psychological effects but actually it's just traditional magic.

Clever really because nobody believes magic really exists today, but plenty of people believe in stuff like hypnosis and NLP.

It went kind of hilariously wrong for his "wisdom of the crowds" explanation for predicting the lottery - that one was too blatantly bullshit for most people and they screwed up the CGI fakery.

This is another one that always stuck in my mind:

(I watched it years ago and haven't rewatched it but IIRC he has a whole NLP explanation for what was clearly sleight of hand performed days ago off camera.)
I'm a junior; even getting internship in my city was impossible. And it's a requirement to graduate.

I had many of my peers pay people for signing off that they had an "internship" at some companies.
How can you trust something you don't understand? That must come from "authority" (some person or org that you trust to know about such matters). That authority isn't Apple for many people. While I have cautious trust in Apple's privacy policies, many people don't, and not without reason. Hence, not understanding Apple's technical explanation of an Apple feature you didn't opt in to sharing personal data, increases the feeling of privacy violation (which in turn leads to more distrust).

So would it be unfair criticism?
You are happy you have anything to pay your bills ;)
This is hardly even metadata. It can't be traced to you nor can it be reversed.
I also wonder how many applications are from people who just send applications to hit the minimum needed to receive unemployment but don't actually want the specific job.
Why do you assume it's MBA driven? As a software developer, I like knowing when my software crashes so that I can fix it. I don't care or even want to know who you are, your IP address, or anything that could be linked back to you in any way, but I can't fix it if I don't know that it's crashing in the first place.
"Hey, if you want to work, pay us" sounds so fucking dystopian.

I already saw "work" offers where YOU have to pay them their salary. As in, to employer, for the "opportunity"
Isnt that just a modified mp3 player, according to the text they only just recite it.
Privacy isn't a binary option. There are levels of privacy between "private" and "not private".

What Apple has implemented is a LOT closer to "private" than "not private"
Not adding to the discussion but couldn't help myself

> Show me everywhere this API is used incorrectly across the entire codebase

This is possible these days with (you guessed it) LLMS, likely with RAG. In fact I've made MCPunk https://github.com/jurasofish/mcpunk with exactly this in mind. There's a nack to wielding it effectively (bullying the LLM just right, feeling when it's bullshitting, etc) but it feels like this kind of capability will soon be commoditised. Super handy for code review like "Hey pal are the changes in the currently checked out branch logically consistent with the rest of the codebase"
The task of Russian navy was to invade Odessa and sabotage Ukrainian grain trade. They didn't even attempt Odessa desant, because they knew it was futaile. And they failed at sabotaging Ukrainian grain trade, but not for a lack of effort.

Otherwise these ships served as missile lunchers, but even then they had to widraw to ports far away from Ukraine, because of drone attacks.

Ukraine won the naval battle at tiny fraction of the Russian navy cost.
A radically different design like this must set up new neural pathways. Much more research is needed!

Oh ffs, not this one again.

The CSAM filtering was a best of class implementation. I'm pretty sure I'm one of maybe a dozen people who actually read the spec before throwing a hissy-fit about "muh privacy!"

The only actual "flaw" was that maybe a state-level actor could make it scan for bad stuff on your device.

BUT they can do it to your cloud data _today_. And if you disabled cloud uploads, the local scanning was disabled too.
I am not a hiring manager, but I will occasionally get asked to help with technical candidates in our org.

Any slight hint of AI prose could mean a direct No from me, let me explain why.

Our process is fair IMO:

1. one CV (if you apply to jobs you should have that one already)

2. a cover letter that shows that you know how to map your CV to our org and the free position. That cover letter could be text in the email you sent the CV in

3. (if invited) an 30 to 45 minute interview with a roughly 1:10 chance of getting in.

If you think you need to game that fair of a process you are the wrong hire anyways. That means the approx ten people who get invited are invited based on their (vetted!) CV and on their cover letter. That means your cover letter is read by a human who will judge your text.

I am not a fan of artificially driving up the effort canidates need to make when applying. I just want to know they informed themselves about my org and gave a few thoughts about the position they applied for (what job it is, why they like it, why they would do a good job etc.) - thst should not be a high bar to clear, but over 80% of candidates struggle even with answering that.
>But, yeah, if you don't have a network you're in a more difficult position.

The lesson people should take from this is you need to cultivate your network through your career. Sadly it seems most people would rather complain about how broken the system is.
Years ago I made https://fuckyeahkeming.com/ with the same premise. It had some good ones but after some time it’s just repeats of the same few words/letter combos for the funny ones: li becoming u, cl becoming d.

Other common issues are text being printed in the wrong font (using default letter shapes but the wrong kerning info), missing spaces (“me at” to “meat”) or poor tracking, which is excess space applied to all letters.

I stopped because it started feeling pedantic rather than funny.
The problem is the same as with "compact" phones - there are only few models so the choice is very limited and they are usually "so-so" (or have other issues).

The problem is, as always, with marketing - it's easier to sell "this is newer/better because <x> parameter is higher" [1] so we have gigantic phones with more megapixel cameras and higher waterproof rating though I'd argue that more people would be affected by dying battery than by lack of waterproofing… (no data to back it though). Anecdotally I were changing all my previous phones because the batter was dying and never in 20 years had issue with phone being sumberged...

Those are just dumb trends :/ I would love for a phone that has lumia design - it was polycarbon/rubbery, had easy access to battery and yet was super sturdy and I didn't feel the need to buy yet another cover because, to bump the margins, whole effin world is going "premium".

Same with cars so you have less and less choice for a normal sized city-car and everything has to be "crossover" or "SUV"... ffs...
This is a pretty obvious and desperate attempt to comfort yourself. Take the intellectually honest road and question why Europe (I’m European myself) has gotten itself into this sorry state and then try to do something about it.

In what way is Europe not in the mess of the experiment that is AI? It seems to me that it has all the exact same problems, without any of the benefits (the jobs, experience and money) that comes with it.

What you are claiming is as dumb as saying that Europe fixed climate change by blocking drilling in Europe and buying oil and gas from the Saudis instead.
That's great... for the HN reader.

However, how is that supposed to work for your significant other, or your mother, or your indifferent-to-technology friend?

The new method to manage political dissidents/whistleblowers in the 21st century is chemical weapons that produce profound states of depression/anxiety that can bring about obsessive thoughts about suicide.

These poisons work miracles. If the person talks about it, most people will believe they are crazy before believing they are being poisoned. There is no way to prove you have been poisoned without spending millions of dollars. All of the advances in medical science pave the way for these poisons to be developed and manufactured cheaply.

OpenAI has direct connections to the military industrial complex in the US. The leaders in these orgs have huge egos that don't like to be double-crossed, and despite it not making sense long term for their business, they are perfectly safe to retaliate using these methods and choose to do so.
Oh yeah, the well known "blind trust" model of security. Never verify any claims of any vendor! If you don't trust them, why did you buy from them?!
Perhaps the company should relocate to india or mexico and enjoy their infrastructure, labor, crime, and culture as a single package. Did you already forget crowdstrike? How much did that cost? Seems like your numbers are missing the tail end risks of reducing standards because that is an externality. Maybe that's why immigration law isn't suppose to be written by companies.
Unfortunately the power balance is in the side of companies; people do need them (eating and sleeping somewhere is generally considered a good thing), companies do not.

Don't blame us for wanting to pay our bills.
> Then, I decided to throw out anyone who heavily mentioned AI, LLM, or data science.

As someone who graduated in the field of AI (so it's on my resume), and is now working in the Data Science field, often with LLMs, this hurts. Although I'm not sure what role you're hiring for, so perhaps I wouldn't be in the list of candidates anyway.
There are so many incredibly talented software engineers in India that want to stay in India for family/cultural reasons. The best setups I have seen have one very reliable senior person who experience working in EU/NA, then returned home. They can help with the cultural barriers with more junior hires. Further, if you pay 20% more than your competition, you can get way better candidates. My experience is also pretty similar with offshore teams in China, but their English skills are worse (on average).
Yeh Japan surprised me in that trust survey, perhaps the question didn't translate well. On a general basis they seem to trust each other even less than most western nations.

Very hard thing to measure.

> I have concerns about how women would be affected by law enforcement who might use the location data to target abortions.

I believe this risk already exists in the form of LE request with court order to see the contents of an iCloud account, such as conversations and photo metadata. Advanced Data Protection exists to eliminate this particular vector - Apple no longer has account recovery information like private keys escrowed, so there's no way they can provide it if requested.

This would not increase such a risk since the network traffic is effectively VPN'd for anonymization, clients send false data periodically to break profiling or behavioral analysis, and the requests and corresponding results are not comprehensible to Apple's server due to the HE.

How did idiv work on the pentium. Was it also optimized, or somehow connected to fdiv, or just the old slow algorithm?
I don't see how this is related

Maybe but by that argument 99% of the affected Pentium users could have happily used their computers until they became obsolete. The bug went completely unnoticed for over a year with millions of units in use.

The media coverage and the fact that "computer can't divide" is something that the public could wrap their heads around is what made the recall unavoidable.

Intel's own marketing hype around the Pentium has played into it too. It would have been a smaller deal during the 486 era.
Running a custom ROM locks you out of almost all decent phone hardware on the market since most have locked bootloaders, and it locks you out of a ton of apps people rely on such as banking and money transfer apps. You must recognise that it's not a practical solution for most people.

The European Commission has a section in the Q&A about that[1] where they say that the charger side of things will be regulated in the Ecodesign Regulation.

Ecodesign will regulate things like power delivery, which includes charger and PoE efficiency and characteristics.

Given that The Guardian reported they attempted landing and then took off again before the fatal landing happened, meaning they had control and power, and that the airport sits on a peninsula I wonder why not to attempt landing on water. Perhaps sea was rough.
Cargo audits are published via cargo vet, once per package version, whereas this distro nonsense will be getting re-done for every distro, has to be updated despite potentially breaking code changes whenever upstream changes, and whenever the distro updates. What a nightmare by comparison.
I never understood that. Apple claims (for the iPhone Pro Max):

> Rated IP68 (maximum depth of 6 meters up to 30 minutes) under IEC standard 60529

But then, the fine print says:

> iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are splash, water, and dust resistant and were tested under controlled laboratory conditions with a rating of IP68 under IEC standard 60529 (maximum depth of 6 meters up to 30 minutes). Splash, water, and dust resistance are not permanent conditions. Resistance might decrease as a result of normal wear. Do not attempt to charge a wet iPhone; refer to the user guide for cleaning and drying instructions. Liquid damage not covered under warranty.

What is the difference here between being water proof and water resistant?

Is it because water proof is permanent and resistant is time based?

Doesn't that mean that nothing is water proof? A submarine then is also only water resistant, because they have depth limits.

Lastly, they're advertising something, but then stating it's not covered under warranty. Doesn't that go against the Warranty of Merchantability?
It's easier to believe companies are your friends than to consider that the elites would do anything to save their money.

It's just a swing into a recent hot topic and talking points around it, don't read too much into it. Everybody knows that US and EU are both way behind Asia and this EU is lagging behind USA due to regulations is just a meme, not more relevant than if Poutine is healthier than french fries.
> why programmers keep launching flaming turds into production despite all the increasingly fancy tools is a somewhat entertaining question

A lot of the talks are actually dubbed in English and French (and sometimes in other languages).

Mirrors my experiences with z/OS. One thing I distinctly remember was when I tried to write JCL to move some datasets. Took me 2 days reading documentation and trying out things. Finally I just gave up. It is not fun when you have noone to help and Google isn't very helpful. If you think Unix tools have no consistency, try JCL and z/OS. Considering how alien JCL is and magic incantations I invoked with it, I'm convinced that there is Cthulhu in the mainframe machine.

Still, I'm quite proud I manage to write some JCL which saved us potentially days of manual work.

Other things I remember from that time was that passwords were only 8 characters long and case insensitive. My guess is z/OS is secure only by its obscurity. Though maybe this was just our installation. No idea until today.
> That alone still guarantees large scale support in most of the world

No, that's the argument that their propaganda uses to elicit that support. They have been victim of a terrorist counter-attack from the people they oppress and massacre since decades; it lasted 48 hours and resulted in a few hundred hostages taken and 800 civilians dead (many of them probably killed by the Israelis themselves, who have a policy of killing their own to prevent them becoming hostages).

Since then, Israel launched a campaign of total destruction and massacre, with the clear and often stated intent of ethnic cleansing and annexation of Gaza- a campaign that resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and the entire region razed to the ground. Something comparable to what the Nazis did to Warsaw. The idea that the terrorist act by Hamas can justify anything like this is pure folly, outside of Israeli propaganda. In fact their PM is wanted for crimes against humanity. This is not even accounting for the fact that Palestinians, as an oppressed and occupied people, have a right to defend themselves- a right that Israel as the oppressor and occupier doesn't have.
> get nearly zero spam due to the simple reverse DNS check which catch most of them

On my Fastmail account, 99% of spam comes from a gmail address. I imagine there's a lot more that are filtered upstream with a similar DNS check, but my point is I receive most spam from legitimate addresses on the world's largest email service.

> I do expect it to obtain my consent before generally accessing the network and sending bytes over the network.

How would that make any difference in this case? Presumably, you'll have long-ago checked the "allow general access to the network" setting, so you've given consent to the "send my photo data" action. Heck, surely connecting to the internet in the first place is implicit consent that you want to send stuff over the network?

This is very interesting code that uses Umbra v0.2-957, PostgreSQL 17.2, and DuckDB v1.1.3.

One minor point: some of the problems could not be implemented in DuckDB due to a missing xor operator - but the documentation includes an xor function (https://duckdb.org/docs/sql/functions/numeric.html#xorx-y) for the same version. Is the form of the function not suitable?
> as I'm mostly not a programmer

What’s your type of job?
I am a professional automated sports gambler, and I win basically every day, and the handful of losing days I have per quarter are significantly smaller than the average daily win.

If you place enough bets (I make about 15k bets each day that are matched) that have a positive expected value your chances of a losing day become pretty low.

For example, I had a losing day on Christmas Day, but was only able to place about 500 bets as it was such a big holiday that there were almost no events.
Or maybe Magnus wouldn't be able to cope with how Morphy plays the game and would lose. Both of them were/are used to how the game was played in their time.
Completely agree, just one minor point:

> I think banking apps requiring SafetyNet passing is the dumbest thing on planet earth. You guys know I can just sign into the website with my mobile browser anyways, right?

No, you're not. For logging in, you need a mobile app used as an authentication token. Do not pass go, do not collect $200... (The current state of affairs in Czechia, at least; you still _do_ have the option of not using the app _for now_ in most banks, using password + SMS OTP, but you need to pay for each SMS and there is significant pressure to migrate you from it. The option is probably going to be removed completely in future.)
